Happy Friday! Angelica is here today with a couple of super fun birthday cards! Her projects are always eye-popping and these are no exception! Let’s hear all about them…
I am back for another fun The Greetery TGIF project. We can never have too many birthday cards on hand, right? I decided to share a set of birthday cards I recently made with the Christmas Car-A-Van stamp set.

I have been wanting to use this stamp set for awhile. It’s so darn cute, and perfect for my teenage boys. But there’s also another reason why. The Greetery donates $3 per set for the lifetime of the set, to the Samaritan’s Purse charity, which is so instrumental in providing emergency relief during hurricanes and other natural disasters (and is also the parent charity of Operation Christmas Child). Such a cute stamp set for an amazing cause!
The van and presents are multi-step stamps, which I stamped with Distress Oxide inks. I then pulled out my Polychormos pencils and added all the shaded details. I was inspired by a Christmas card that Betsy shared on her blog, back in October. Adding a little extra color in certain places really makes the images come alive! I finished the cards with a sentiment from Sentiment Suite: Birthday Stamp Set.
While I was stamping the above vans, I also stamped a lot of die-cut vans. I made another card, arranging the die cuts into three rows.

Such a simple card to make, and can be used for many different occasions. This card has my boys’ names all over it! I arranged the buses, trimmed the edges with a paper trimmer, and saved the cut-off pieces for a future card. I added a Birthday Suite sentiment to finish the card, die-cutting it with a Sentiment Suite banner.
Thanks so much for joining me today. I hope I have helped inspire ideas for this fabulous stamp set. Until next time, Happy Crafting!
I love that Angelica used this set for her project today! Besides the fact that her projects are just adorable, it also gives me a chance to give an update on our Christmas Care-A-Van Give & Make. As Angelica mentioned in her post, $3 from the sale of each stamp set has been and will be donated to Samaritan’s Purse/Operation Christmas Child. Thanks to your purchases over the past few months, we were able to make a donation to help those who have been affected by the devastating tornadoes in Tennessee earlier this week. Our hearts and prayers go out to those who are hurting there from the loss of life and property. <3 Thank you for your support of this project!
